## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genome sequences of 11 Citrobacter cronae isolates from the food-animal production chain in Nigeria.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data on C. cronae isolates from a food-animal context in Nigeria.

## Key findings

- Draft genomes of 11 C. cronae isolates were sequenced.
- The isolates were obtained from the food-animal production chain in Nigeria.

## Abstract

Citrobacter cronae inhabits the intestines of humans and has been isolated from stool and rectal swabs of immunosuppressed patients. However, its role as a zoonotic pathogen has not been fully studied. Here, we present draft genomes of 11 C. cronae isolates obtained from the food-animal production chain.
